Administrator Plus

The Aquarian Minyan, a Jewish Renewal congregation located in Berkeley, California, seeks a person with both executive and hands-on skills to manage day-to-day operations. We are the oldest Jewish Renewal Community on the West Coast, founded in 1974 and inspired by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. Our congregation has no permanent physical space, but has had a national presence on Zoom since the beginning of the Pandemic. The Minyan offers weekly virtual Shabbat services and events, and hopes to soon return to live, in-person/hybrid events. We also have a growing ongoing virtual Yeshiva program that hosts a wide range of Jewish topics and many renown teachers. You will be joining a congregation with a long history of both excellent rabbis and strong lay leadership. We welcome people of every level of Jewish observance, all ages, single and partnered, LGBTQI and straight, and seekers from many spiritual traditions.
